Do you agree that losing these two championship games hurts Lebron James legacy?

Does this end the Michael Jordan comparisons?



I say....... Yes to both

I think it all depends on what he does the rest of his career. If Lebron's career was over now, then yes, I feel it would. He still has several years left though.

This again

we all know the answer and anyone saying it doesn't hurt his legacy is just lying to themselves.

So if Lebron makes it to 10 Finals and wins 7, MJ is better for only making it to 6? That's stupid.

1. did lebron lose them all by himself?

2. why punish lebron for aiding his team more than jordan did? is a team loss in the finals better or worse than a team loss earlier in the playoffs?

No because a great player can't will his team to a 7-game series victory by himself. He may be able to do it against lesser teams... but not in the NBA Finals. The better team almost always wins.

all of this anti-lebron, pro-MJ hysteria really has, imho, shadowed how fricking amazing the spurs were games 3-5

that may have been the apex of NBA basketball. thinking about what they were doing, i don't know if any team (as we have seen them in reality) was going to beat that driving/passing/shooting

James deserves blame because he would have received all the credit in a win.

Well the Heat are going to be a mess and will only get worse.

He would basically have to start over somewhere new in the last few years of his prime or go to an already established team which would look like more ring chasing. His window is closing.
